After losing one of the most experienced members of their defensive backfield over the weekend, the Ducks addressed their growing depth concerns in the secondary on Monday with the addition of Boise State grad transfer Jordan Happle. Sunday’s announcement from senior-to-be Brady Breeze that he would be opting out of the 2020 season left Duck […]
As I sat down and took some time to consider what to write in this space, one word kept coming to mind in my attempt to take an all-encompassing aerial look at Saturday’s season opener vs. Auburn in Arlington, Texas. “Opportunity.” The word has different meaning compared to the last time the Ducks and Tigers […]
It feels almost incomprehensible considering the start of the February signing period was just a few short weeks ago, but ready or not, the unofficial start of the 2019 season is right around the corner. March 7 marks the beginning of spring football for the Ducks, and similar to last year, the Ducks will have […]
Nearly two weeks ago to the day it was announced that the Ducks would be parting ways with ballyhooed defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt; a “mutual decision” arrived upon by both parties after it became painfully obvious that neither Leavitt, nor head coach Mario Cristobal, were interested in resolving whatever differences they had beyond the 2018 […]
Bowl games are often viewed as glorified exhibition games. The proverbial cherry atop the ice cream sundae, if you will, particularly as it relates to the games that fall outside the New Year’s Six.

The Ducks are headed to the Bay Area to face Michigan State in the Redbox Bowl. Though […]
There’s good news and bad news for Oregon coming out Saturday’s game versus San Jose State. The good news: the Ducks got the win and seemed to stay relatively injury-free, moving to 3-0 following their 35-22 victory over the Spartans inside Autzen Stadium. The bad news: it was undeniably Oregon’s worst performance of the young […]
The “Is [insert athlete’s name] elite?” question is as time-honored as anything that has ever existed in sports. In fact, a variation of this question has likely been applied throughout human history, as one can easily imagine the chroniclers of Ancient Greece offering up Hellenistic period hot takes on whether Alexander the Great was really all […]
Behold! Football season is nigh! Believe it or not, mere weeks separate us between now and the start of fall camp for the Oregon Ducks. As preseason camp fast approaches, we at WFOD will be rolling out a series of previews to help fully prepare you for the upcoming season. Friday marks the continuation of […]
